Cahuita surf guide

Surf: General: The Caribbean side of Costa Rica has its own beauty and charm, and a number of high-quality waves on offer during the winter. Cahuita National Park is home to quality stretch of black sand beach break with a fun left-hand reef/point at one end. A great option if you are in country during the Pacific's "offseason," and a beautiful place to combine sightseeing and surfing. Tides: High tide at beach break, mid to low for left point. Size: Head-high to overhead Wind: W Swell: NE Bottom: Sand at the beach break, reef/sand at the point. Paddling: Be wary of the rip, tends to run a bit. Spot Rating: Nice variety of quality beach break peaks and a left-hand reef/point. Access: Park at the entrance to Cahuita National Park or on the side of the main beach road, then walk down to the black sand beach. Crowds: Crowd Factor: The left point gets a bit busy with locals, but the beach break stays pretty empty. Local Vibe: Like most places in Costa Rica, the locals are pretty friendly. That being said, the left point can get busy and competitive. Environment: Some sewage issues. Hazards: Rips, reef. Season: Caribbean spots tend to break best in winter.
